It sure is looking good and even better in the flesh (bark). The photograph is pretty good too
I had only seen pictures online before my first visit to the NBPCA recently and was blown away by the size and health of Ted's costata. To give everyone a better perspective of the size, here is a photo of me checking out the structure;

Oh, I am loving this!!
I think you have a few "noise" issues. Any chance of yelling out to Leigh to drop the ISO setting down a bit? I'd leave that slatted board under it too, to give a baseline for visual reference. The tree may appear to be "floating" without it, I like that look, many don't though...
Mind if I attempt some post processing on your image?

Ditto Steven I think that is about exactly what I said when I saw it
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

No, go ahead. We are still learning here and trying out a different set up in the studio. We are doing one of Quentins now and then Craigs.
Sorry, took me a few hours, wanted to preserve every leaf.
Hope Ted likes it.

After completeing the PP I realised I stuffed up. I used the small web version of the image, not the full sized. Hence you can't enlarge my attempt. Would you like me to redo this on the larger version, so you can re-size to what-ever?
Sent this image, I will await a responce before I start on the larger version.
